Pluspunten
The work itself is very interesting and it's amazing seeing how complex the parts we make are and how it all comes together. Work is challenging but not too difficult. Pay is standard compared to defense contractors, not the best but solid.
Minpunten
The business is struggling to acquire contracts so work is dwindling at the Space Park site at an alarming rate with no positive forecast in the future. The site is in a no hire no fire mode right now, which is understandable, but it is making a long term career here both risky in terms of a potential layoffs and limiting career growth in general if you want to climb the ladder. Leadership and upper management also have done a poor job retaining our best talent, most of our best people leave to competititors and the knowledge they have is not being passed down or retained in any way. Being a good employee here is not rewarded so I can't blame them for leaving.
